Let em come then when its their home game we'll fill the north, west and south stands. Their attendances would drop even further.
I think its quite funny really pride of east hull playing in west hull.
like my old man used to say "bugger off up your end"

moving back to their west hull roots

Id rather Rovers play in there than Hull City

And how much extra would that end up costing us, if we didn't have Hull City's contribution to the KC upkeep?

Ridiculous.

Three teams playing on that pitch would hammer it, there would need to be an extended period with no activity whatsoever, just to give the grass a chance.

It would end up like the days when Les Clarke's mate dumped a load of "topsoil" on the Boulevard. It turned out to be clay, so his mate suggested adding some sand to the mix. Unfortunately the sand came straight off some beach and was full of broken shells and hadn't been sterilised. We had a treatment room full of players with septic, festering cuts on their legs.

Clearly its a wind up.
After all, Craven Park will be much better than the KC by 2015. Hudgell will have been knighted, Phil Lowe et al will repay the money they took from the sale of the old Craven Park, and KR will have won Superleague with Craig Hall man of steel and 54 tries.

all pre-season. first thing dosey parkers got right for ages.

Does this mean a car boot and market merger?

Load of 'Tosh' from the Sun....Again.

How would it lose all of its credibility?! That's a ridiculous statement.

There would very rarely be 3 fixtures a week. The pitch is only awful because football is played in winter. In summer, the pitch will be fine. And very very rarely would there be 3 fixtures a weekend. The football team already play at least 23 home fixtures. 26 home rugby fixtures is a fair comparison.

If it somehow manages to bring down operating costs (thus making things like tickets cheaper), I'd be happy for them to move in.

This is what I posted on their board about it:

Talking from a serious standpoint, there's been talk between Pearson and Hudgell about working closer together. You do wonder if they could broker some kind of deal that would have them both getting a cheaper deal overall. You'd think the operating costs of the stadium would come down having three clubs there.

Then when you think of things like the possibility of double-headers for some of the lower supported games like Catalans and London to save money (as well as create a bit of atmosphere in one of the more dull fixtures of the year) and it could work out pretty well for both parties.
Yeah, I know there'd have to be some logistics to sort out like who gets priority where, season tickets, etc. but they aren't exactly unsolvable. 50/50 on the corporate sections. East Stand pass holders for one club get the upper tier of the West, South Stand pass holders for one club get the North Stand. Two double headers a year means both clubs have fans moved at least once. Two games for the price of one and a full house for a usually dead game or two.

As for merger talks, mergers are only for teams that are struggling. If we're both doing well in the same stadium, why would the RFL want two of the better clubs in the league to merge? What would your license grading be if you was at the KC? They wouldn't want to lose a highly placed club.

At the end of the day, I'm an RL fan before a Hull fan, and I think if the move is better for the game, it would be great. I'm not one to cut my nose off to spite my face. It may help Rovers a lot (even if it is temporary), but Hull should be looking to see what such a move can do to help them in as many ways as possible and if it can help us cut costs then we should be in favour of it.

Thats far too sensible a quote. Get a life.

I do not think the pitch or any pitch could cope with the extra games, so from that point of view its a none starter. I do wonder where this is all coming from and why though, clearly KR are having problems with Craven Park and are looking increasingly desperate to move forward.

Anyone who thinks the KR fans would welcome a move West is living in cloud cuckooland, the vast majority would vote with there feet.

I wonder what Mr Alam had in the way of security for his " loan" does he own some shares I wonder. I think Hutchies suggestion of merger is a very real possibilty, it would be popular with everyone except the hardcore fans and one I think is being progressed towards.

Look How The Pitch Is After so many games after football.. yes does get better when they stop because rugby is all over the field instead of up and down through the middle and sometimes it gets a break when we play away.

but when you think it has 23 football games, then 26 rugby games, then football starts again. the pitch will be f****d.

Then you will lose the build up to the derby, east meets west.. it wont be like that no more.

end of the day people think its a good idea because it will bring costs down. yes well done. but want adam pearson already going to have talks about bringing the rent down??

just leave things as they are.. sooner or later it seems rovers going to go bust.

this maybe a ridiculous post but its my opinion.

I don't think Allam owns any shares in Rovers, at least if he does, they've not filed the return at Companies House yet.

I find it interesting that the supposed Rovers source in the Sun is complaining about the council's lack of support. The Council have so far borrowed £6m from Central government and underwritten Rovers repayments on the North Stand part (around £2m) in case of default. They've signed up to a Hull Training centre in the North Stand at Craven Park, when realistically there are more obvious locations for an East Hull training facility which have better transport links and are more densely populated. They have organised the application for ERDF funding of £2.5m for the balance of cash required. On top of repurchasing the freehold of Craven Park and organising a peppercorn rent. I don't see why Rovers should be indignant about any lack of support at all.

Perhaps Hudgell and Crossland are weary of funding ongoing losses.

If this goes through I would be fuming.

Edited etc

Why does everyone think it'll be cheaper for us if both clubs use kc. we share wi city now and there's do deal because of it.

wiil harm kr more than it will us, how many supporters will they lose after grudghill sells out to them crossing the river!

Problem solved they can have kc with city. I've bought me ticket the euro millions are as good as mine. We're off home to boulevard ( costello at a push)

Hudgell sounded like he has no appetite for season on season personal losses trying to compete in SL in an 8800 capacity 'stadium'. Or was it the £1million Allam 'loan/gift' talking?

You missed the NHS money for the east stand extension

Well feel free to fume away.

Get used to the thought of it, as Hull FC rent the stadium, and Rovers have just as much right to also rent the stadium.

Wrong.

Excellent. You'd all look (even more) like total tits though after all the Pride of East Hull bollox and slating the KC as a characterless venue though. Welcome to West Hull and thanks for reducing our costbase. AP will be delighted.
